first off, what is this writers obsession with the orioles?
secondly, he is wrong on people not having high expectations. Does he honestly think all orioles fans just sit here and go "oh, another losing season". He should go read the baltimoresun message board or take a trip down pratt street and talk to some fans.
Finally, he is fucking retarded saying we are on a lot of players no trade lists, when actually we are probably near the bottom end on players no trade lists. go look it up.

Maybe this "writer" should get off the orioles nuts.

Or maybe he isn't a blind homer who thinks the Orioles can actually compete with the Yankees and Redsox this year.

do you honestly think any orioles fan thinks we can compete?

That is what he is saying in the article. You just over reacted and started nerd raging. He is saying nobody has high expectations (no body thinks they can compete) and therefore he has no stress about losing games if they do.

hes just saying that because thats what he "thinks"

thats bullshit, just because we have sucked for so long does not mean we do not stress. If anything we stress more.

I will take what he thinks over what any of the kids on here thinks when it relates to baseball....
This is a different kind of stress that you are talking about. You aren't pressed against the wall thinking you HAVE to win because your team is expected to compete.
You guys are pushed against the wall because you want to give your fans something to be happy about.
Which he mentioned in the article as well when he stated that he still needs to move them in the right direction.

No announcement has been made, but the Orioles have agreed to terms with infielder Cesar Izturis on a 1-year contract.

The deal will become official once Izturis passes his physical.

Izturis apparently will compete for the utility job along with newly acquired Brendan Harris, while J.J. Hardy is penciled in as the everyday shortstop.

Earlier this week, President Andy MacPhail stated after confirming the Hardy/Harris deal that he would continue negotiations with Izturis' agent.
